021 Mental Health and Contemplative Prayer (with AJ Sherrill)
Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation

AJ: In being with God, AJ's new book on page 31, you just give these kind of contrast. You say mindfulness aims to empty one's mind, contemplation aims to fill one's mind.

But but they're not the same thing," he says.
